Faint, The - The Geeks Were Right Lyrics






Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I got a chain saw motor
That's filled with rain.
But when it sings like bach
The eyes all bulge
Then when the pink sun drops
The eyelids fold

While I'm in deep REM sleep
Or twilight zones
I take a freight elevator
And press fast forward
I get to grind these teeth
And peek thru time
If I could bring things back
They'd feedback wild
When I saw the future - the geeks were right

Egghead boys
With thin white legs
They got modified features
And software brains
But that's what the girls like
The geeks were right
When I saw the future - the geeks were right

Predator skills
Chemical wars
Plastic islands at sea
Watch what the humans ruin
With machines

Eyeballs float in wet green grass
I'm in a chainsaw choir
In dreams that bend
To let me cut thru time
And stretch out Bach
I make the dry eyes roll
And wet eyes cross

While I'm in deep REM sleep
Or twilight zones
I take a freight elevator
And press fast forward
So I can grind these teeth
And peek thru time
If I could bring things back
They'd feedback wild
And when I saw the future - the geeks were right

    For how many years have i listen to this , nobody realizes putting a damn lyrics , so , you're welcome in advance:

    LYRICS:
    Eyeballs float in wet green grass
    I got a chainsaw motor that's filled with rain proof
    When it sings like bach with eyes all bulging
    When the pink sun drops the eyelids fold
    While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
    I take a freight elevator and press fast forward
    I get to grind these teeth and beat through time
    If I could bring things back they'd be that WILD

    When I saw the future the Geeks were right

    Egghead boys with thin white legs
    They got modified features with software brains
    But that's what the girls like, the geeks were right

    When I saw the future the Geeks were right

    Predator skills, chemical wars, plastic islands at sea
    Watch what the humans ruin with machines

    Eyeballs float in wet green grass
    I'm in a chainsaw choir and dreams
    That bend that let me cut through time and stretch out bach
    I make the dry eyes roll and wet eyes cross
    While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
    I take the freight elevator and press fast forward
    So I can grind these teeth and beat through time
    If I could bring things back they'd be that wild

    When I saw the future the Geeks were right

    RIP Jacob ; (

  3. K.... P....

    RIP Jacob

  4. v.... ....

    I got to know this band from a flash game called dropkick the punk back in the early 2000s

    It was worth it

  5. d.... m....

    Just a shame that the rest of the album is terrible

  6. G.... C....

    With whats going on with the Amazon rain forest, this song is even more relevant.

  7. K.... P....

    I have not heard this in years!

  8. E.... G....

    Who is this band playing Psycho fest in Vegas this August, I asked myself
    YouTube search...
    Oh 😳- I just got a contact high through my eyes from this- subbed

  9. A.... C....

    Watching this in 144p seems to only enhance the experience

  10. R.... G....

    Tonight I'm going to visit 2030 who's with me??

  11. J.... P....

    Anyone else come from stevo

  12. I.... D....

    T12!PPY

  13. M.... M....

    I saw these guys only as "Norman Bailer" at The Cog Factory in Omaha. Conor was originally in the band but left or was kicked out(the story there is still kind of muddy but no sore issues or beef). It's just cool to see so many cool bands come from Omaha b/c it's such a small town but a lot of the people in the music scene there are so determined and brave that they don't let anything deter them. The people don't get girls pregnant at 14 or just fuck off and do stupid shit, no they are determined and dedicated to their music and it shows with The FAINT, Conor Oberst's various bands, Cursive, Emphatic, 311, etc. etc. a small mid west town kicks the living shit out of so many bigger cities when it comes to their success in music. A lot can be learned from that scene.

  14. b.... ....

    My brothers were right but they weren't geeks lol

  15. T.... S....

    Such a rad band. Super amazing video on the geeks were right!

  16. P.... O....

    -"Bitcoin is t..."
    -"Ha. Nerd money!"

  17. I.... A....

    "The Nerd-bait is Real"

  18. S.... ....

    Taking a trip to 2008

  19. A.... w....

    HAHA 2017 this shit is stilll AWESOME!!

  20. m.... r....

    i really think #media deserves way more credit and listens but then this entirety of things making this video possible and absorbed wouldn't

  21. D.... ....

    anyone else here because of CSI: NY?

    D.... ....

    Ashley Numb3rs

  22. K.... W....

    just watched this video after remembering having this song on my mp3 when I was younger, now listening, I'm like "Wow. They are very unappreciated for how ahead of their time they are." Very pleased that I clicked on this one.

  23. S.... L....

    This song is pretty amazing! I swear it only gets better the more I hear it! The Faint is pretty fucking awesome! I would LOVE to see these guys rock a crowd!

    S.... L....

    I saw them in Philly in 2002, pretty shortly after Danse Macabre came out. It was great. They're probably all old men now...like me...

    S.... L....

    They still put on a hell of a live show...

    S.... L....

    I never had a chance to see the when I lived in Omaha for 26yrs. I grew up in the scene bu when ever they played I was doing something else.

    S.... L....

    They played alot of shows around denver too, never got the chance to see them.

  24. W.... ....

    wasn't this song on tony hawk ride? because i have that game

  25. N.... ....

    Reminds me of my L4D days, great memories!

    N.... ....

    Reminds me of my Ld50 days..

  26. Z.... G....

    I'm listening to this on a Sunday morning.

    Z.... G....

    +Zack Gomez me too

    Z.... G....

    me too. in 2016. lol

    Z.... G....

    Same here Jan 13 2019

  27. r.... s....

    Real catchy cadence , and the lyrics are nearly gibberish to ( normals ) 
    but if you listen there's a lot of Funny stuff in there . I think it's inspiring  on many levels

    r.... s....

    +rod sims Hidden teachings of reality, is in much of they're music, after his awakening in haiti. I call it god music, like vnv nation, and lindsey sterling. When you can see, and, or feel the energy bouncing around. A primer to using energy in safe manner. Some of us wake up in diffrent ways.

    r.... s....

    +Thomas Sawyer agreed

    r.... s....

    Thomas Sawyer
    Sterling is garbage. all her music sounds the same. when she was underground she was good

  28. T.... G....

    Is it under music for eu members?

  29. T.... G....

    Very loud stereo

  30. S.... A....

    Total ripoff of The Killers 'Sombody Told Me'

    S.... A....

    +Keyser Soze this song came out a year beforehand...

    S.... A....

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha shuuuut up man !!
    Don't know much about music do ya bud ?

    Killers are shit anyways

    S.... A....

    +Lee Lee Are you a child?

    S.... A....

    +Eno Dynowsi This song came out in 2008. Somebody Told Me came out in 2004. That's four whole years earlier.

    S.... A....

    There are similarities in the vocal phrasing, but it's hardly a "total ripoff".

  31. E.... T....

    Remember everything has a meaning. 
    "Egghead boys with thin white legs
    They got modified features and software brains
    But that's what the girls like, the geeks were right
    When I saw the future the geeks were right"

    Aliens/Demons

    "While I'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones
    I take a freight elevator and press fast forward
    I get to grind these teeth and peek through time
    If I could bring things back, they'd feedback wild
    When I saw the future the geeks were right"

    Spiritual realm -Try looking up what a third eye is and how to open it. It taps into the same places- Drugs lcds especially  are shortcuts to go in also.

    You wonder wth they are talking about huh

    E.... T....

    they are talking about transhumanism

  32. P.... ....

    Usually are, because we're smart.

    P.... ....

    ok I’m sorry but ACTUALLY a geek is someone who is smart at specifically one thing usually a hobby or type of piece geeks are not smart by definition. Nerds on the other hand are people who are smarter than most and are usually also a geek but a geek is not always a nerd.

  33. g.... ....

    Featured in Double Decade - snowboarding video!

  34. E.... M....

    These guys are either genius or out of their minds.

    E.... M....

    I agree with you in this! I can't fully imagine the horror of being trapped in my mind without the possibility of expressing myself physically in any way!

    E.... M....

    there's a lot more to explore out there

    E.... M....

    El Masquato I have to say geniuses, if you haven’t ever seen them live please go, it’s a life changing expensive.. you will not regret it ..

    E.... M....

  36. B.... d....

  37. m.... t....

    blessed are the geek for they will inherit the earth!

  38. R.... T....

    Did he say "I got a chainsaw motor that's filled with rain poop?"

    R.... T....

    R.... T....

    I've got a chain saw motor that's filled with rain, but when it sings like Bach the eyes all fold, and when the pink sun drops the eyelids fold. Better?

    R.... T....
